Please stop referring to semi-automatics as assault weapons. They aren't. You can't legally buy assault weapons in this country (some collectors excluded, I believe). I can't speak for all states, but where I moved from background checks were mandatory.

Would this eliminate all bad guys from buying a gun on the "street". No, but it likely would save some lives. It would be a start toward perhaps getting assault weapons eliminated from being sold to someone with a documented mental problem.
